I Win at Cultivation by Picking Up Spirit Beasts

[My new novel, The Princess and the Eunuch, is currently being serialized. Please bookmark it!]

Shi Ning died suddenly from working 996 and transmigrated into the cultivation world, where she became a good-for-nothing with a cultivation aptitude of zero.

In a world where everyone was frantically competing to become an immortal, Shi Ning just wanted to lie flat. She'd wait for a chance to leave the mountain, take up farming, and quietly do nothing.

While her fellow disciples fought over a manual until they were black and blue, Shi Ning lounged with a fluffy kitten in her arms, eating sweet fruit and enjoying the show.

While her sectmates sabotaged one another for a chance to enter a secret realm, Shi Ning was happily playing with a cute little mermaid, completely indifferent to the infighting in her sect.

Shi Ning thought the lie-flat life was great: she had cats to pet and fish to play with.

Unexpectedly, the kitten she'd met by chance offered her a rare, original manual to repay her kindness.

The little mermaid she'd rescued was the guardian of a secret realm. The other disciples could go their whole lives without entering it, but Shi Ning could come and go as she pleased.

The manual helped Shi Ning break through to a higher cultivation level, and the secret realm helped repair her spiritual roots.

Shi Ning had only wanted to quietly lie flat, but somehow she ended up as the most powerful cultivator in the sect.

Jing Li was the only true dragon in the cultivation world. An accident drastically weakened his cultivation and left him near death, forcing him to transform into a tiny dragon barely three inches long.

Just then, Shi Ning happened upon him and took him home, where she cared for him attentively.

She even thoughtfully prepared a nest for Jing Li, although building a nest was a dragon's way of courting someone.

Faced with her apparent "courtship" and his debt for saving his life, Jing Li initially only wanted to avoid hurting the young woman's feelings. But gradually, he fell for her.

One day, Shi Ning gazed at him with "tender affection," hesitating as she said there was something she wanted to ask.

Jing Li thought he was about to hear the most heartfelt confession. Instead, the young woman blushed and said shyly, "Could you make it rain and water my fields?"

Xuan Zhen, the Dao Ancestor, was aloof and a once-in-a-millennium cultivation prodigy, just half a step away from becoming an immortal. But right before he was due to ascend, word got out that he had taken a woman as his Dao companion.

Everyone wondered what kind of person could catch the eye of an ancestor who thought so highly of himself.

To their surprise, it was the sect's most indolent disciple, a professional lie-flat expert.

Those who had always looked down on Shi Ning could now only kneel respectfully at her feet.

A pet-loving heroine who just wants to farm and lie flat vs. an arrogant, powerful demon king who keeps conquering himself

The Princess and the Eunuch is currently being serialized!

The borders of the Great Liang Empire were unstable, with the southern tribes repeatedly causing trouble.

The emperor was weak and incompetent. To stabilize the situation, he once again proposed a political marriage.

As the least favored princess, Fan Yin was naturally chosen for the marriage.

The southern king was vicious and cruel. The previous princess sent to marry him had died at his hands.

Unwilling to suffer the same fate, Fan Yin placed all her hopes in the chief eunuch of the imperial court.

Shi Ming was careful and meticulous, never leaving anything undone. Though a eunuch, he held power over the entire court and was revered by the officials as the chief minister. He stood above everyone but the emperor.

At this point, only he could help Fan Yin turn the situation around and save her life.

The autumn rain had yet to stop, and the mist was thick.

Holding a paper umbrella, Fan Yin looked around. In the endless downpour, she seemed like a lone leaf adrift, helpless and alone.

After waiting a long time, she finally caught sight of Shi Ming. With the marriage imminent, Fan Yin looked anxious, her voice plaintive: "Please save me, Chief Minister."

From the moment his family was destroyed and he entered the palace as a eunuch, Shi Ming's life had fallen into an endless abyss.

Then one day, after the morning court session, a graceful woman in green, so beautiful she seemed otherworldly, approached him through the misty rain.

Princess Fan Yin, the purest person in this scheming imperial palace.

The pitiful princess and the look in her eyes as she pleaded with him lingered in his mind.

After that parting, a secret took root in a hidden corner of Shi Ming's heart, one no one else knew about.

He would drag that bright moon down into the abyss.

The least favored princess x the all-powerful chief eunuch. Happy ending.

-------Coming soon: My Birth Chart Is Incompatible with My Prince Consort

Luo Qin was the eldest princess of the Great Liang Empire and the emperor's only sister. Born to wealth and nobility, she was breathtakingly beautiful, the most dazzling woman of her time.

Countless talented young men and noble heirs were in love with her, but Luo Qin had eyes for just one person.

Liu Ye, an official of the Court of Judicial Review, came from a poor family. Proud and aloof, he was like the moon reflected in water and a pine standing in the snow. He disliked the nobility and the imperial family above all, especially the eldest princess Luo Qin, whose domineering nature he found unbearable.

A decree from the emperor arranged for Luo Qin to marry Liu Ye.

The decree had barely arrived at the Liu residence when Liu Ye hurried to the palace and, at the risk of defying the emperor, declared, "I am too lowly for her. The princess and I are incompatible according to our birth charts. I don't wish to waste the princess's best years."

Luo Qin had never believed in birth charts, fate, or the idea that two people were destined to bring each other misfortune. She was convinced she could make Liu Ye see what was in his heart.

She had loved Liu Ye for years, always looking after him and helping him advance. Even a stone should have warmed up after all this time.

Then one day, Luo Qin learned that Liu Ye was secretly keeping a woman in his residence. After asking around, she found out that the woman was the person Liu Ye had loved for years.

During an autumn hunt, Luo Qin was injured while protecting Liu Ye. Before losing consciousness, she saw him holding that beloved woman tightly in his arms.

Luo Qin thought that she really was incompatible with Liu Ye. Their fates clashed, and whenever she got close to him, something bad happened.

She no longer wanted a stone that wouldn't warm up or a heart she couldn't win. She returned the imperial decree arranging their marriage and remained the Great Liang Empire's most dazzling and dignified princess.

In Begonia Lane, Luo Qin spent a fortune just to see a beauty smile.

The very next moment, Liu Ye arrived with soldiers and raided the dazzling den of pleasure.

In a secluded spot, Liu Ye trembled as he took a marriage talisman from his robes. He'd heard it was obtained through prayer at the most efficacious temple in Great Liang. "I had a master read our fortunes. The princess and I are compatible after all. We're a match made in heaven."

Luo Qin laughed softly as she took the talisman, then casually tore it in half. "Since when did you start believing in such ridiculous things, Lord Liu?"

Under the blazing sun, the renowned official of the Court of Judicial Review stood for a long time outside the eldest princess's residence, tightly clutching the torn marriage talisman and the marriage decree that was no longer valid, all in the hope of seeing Luo Qin.

A proud, sharp-tongued, secretly devoted man who chases his wife through a painful journey to win her back vs. a spirited, radiant princess who can stop loving someone and move on

The male lead doesn't love the supporting female character. It's all a misunderstanding. One-on-one romance, both leads' first relationship.
